In the penultimate match of the Brazilian Serie A, Fortaleza will play RB Bragantino at the Arena Castelao on November 9. Fortaleza has lost both of their league games recently. They bounced back from their 4-0 loss to Palmeiras last week by drawing 1-1 with Atletico Goianiense. After Luiz Fernando gave Atletico a lead in the 17th minute, Rómulo Otero scored an equalizer.
In contrast, Bragantino lost 4-1 at home to America Mineiro, their third defeat in five league games. In the first half, Bragantino scored four goals, including one in the 17th minute from Luan Cândido.
Fortaleza cannot finish in the top half of the standings unless they win their last two games, while Bragantino are unlikely to do so.
Prediction
Fortalwxa has won three of their last five league games and is unbeaten. They should improve on their home record against Bragantino, which is 100%. In contrast, Bragantino has been inconsistent this season and has scored more than 2.5 goals in four of their last five away games. In this period, they have scored at least once and are likely to score again. Still, Fortaleza should win by a small margin.
